Good Results.

A letter was received at this office this
week from J. H. Rae, Jr., who was then at
Silver Reef, Utah, which reports the Rae
electric system working finely there, show
ing saving of from $500 to $1,000 per
month in the mill This is pretty good,
considering that the mill is only FIVE
stamp one working up to 50 per cent. and
only losing twelve ounces of quicksilver to
the ton-a small margin to work on. 1t is
estimated that the mill there rms as close
if not closer than any mill on the coast, and
system will do all that is claimed for it.

Let that cold Of yours run on. You think
it is light thing. But it may run into cat
arrh. Or into pneumonia. Or consumption.
Catarrh is disgusting. Pneumonia is dan

The breathing apparatus must be kept
healthy and clear of all obstruction and of.

ahead.

graceful form, which was encased in
an elegant dress. The skirt was OF
black rhadame satin, richly draped
and profusely covered in front with
black Spanish lace hounce; the short
basque of rhadame, vest of brocaded
velvet, and the sleeves literally COW
cred with black Spanish lace. A
white linen collar OF the latest style
encircled her swan-like throat. a beau
tiful black silk bonnet, covered with
beaded lace, and a coquetish feather
in n side of it, and her hands n
cased in a pair OF delicate colored six

her costume. "What a splendid

to his wife, Indeed" answered she,
"She looks elegant in that rich attire.
Her husband is a noble fellow. He
bought everything composing her out
fit at Morris & Levy's. Won't you
step down there, love, and look at
the elegant assortment of ribbons and
fancy handkerchiefs they have? /"
"No," answered he, "I'm not
going to be outdone by a noble fellow,
as you call him. I'll go there with
you to-day they are opening a new
lot of elegant furs, and I'll buy you
the finest set in the house, and one of

Save Their ReDutAttOu.

Charley Mitchell, of the Grass
Valley Union, says of a party of
Nimrods who went out hunting from
Grass Valley: at now transpires
that 80 shots were fired at the fine buck
that was started up by the party that
went out from to yn last week. 1t was
at first stated that the buck had to run
the gauntlet of 81 shots, but the latest
returns increase the number. The
buck is going yet" This re-
minds us OF a party who went hunt
to the Hay Ranch, a short time ago.,
and failing to bring down any of the
antlered game, dropped few shots into
a poor innocent calf, which they sent to
town and tried to palm off for young
venison. Wild ducks were plentiful,
but the shooting was wilder than the
game, and in order to save the reputa-
ton Of the party, who were his friends,
a gentleman paid a Shoshone four bits
for a brace of fine ducks, which he
carried all the way from the railroad
depot to the restaurant, exhibiting
them as trophies of the hunt. Do not
ask us who the hunters were, good
reader. fol- we are sworn not to give
any OF the party away.

SHOW THE SKINS OR QUIT,

Senator Stewart has our thanks for
the Congressional Record, without which
no man can be happy during a session of
Congress. And we may improve the op.
portunity just here to say that the Sen.
ator pitches into his Senatorial duties
with the energy of a steam engine. This
paper may occasionally differ with him
on questions of public policy, but it in.
tends to treat him fairly and accord to
him due credit for all he may accomplish
Tor the State. Stewart is a worker of
the effective type. There can be no sue.
cess in Congress without industry and
courage. Stewart has both. So, sail
In, old man, and the SENTINEL will pat
you on the back every time you knock a
persimmon for Nevada. This State
needs dead loads of Federal legislation
and help. The man who cannot do
things at Washington ought to be uncer.
enormously kicked out of place by the
people at the first opportunity. When
a man sets up as a good hunter he must
be able to show the skins.

NOT VERY

1t is rumored that Powning and Foley
have made a combine, by which the
former is to be the Republican candidate
for Governor and the latter 90 to Con.
gress. -Carson Appeal.
The above rumor does not strike us as
being very probable. General Powning
is "gone," so to speak, so far as the Re.
publican party is concerned. His bolt
in Washoe county at the last election
has ruined his prospects for all time with
the Republican party of Nevada. He
may not realize it now, but he is sure to
understand it in the end. Under the
circumstances, he ought to go the whole
figure and at once become a full. fedged
Democrat. As a friend, we advise him
to this course. He can never be Gov.
ernor as a Republican. They won't so
much as give him a nomination for any
State office. Hence, the best thing the
General can do is to adopt our we'll.
meant advice and come in out of the
cold. There is room enough in Paradise
all to have a home in glory.

4 BIT OF POLITICAL GOSSIP.

1t is whispered away low down among
his friends that Fair wants to 60 back to
the Senate, and hints that two years
hence he will make a dash for Jones
seat. In the same connection we hear
that Mackay is whipping himself daily
for having stood in the way of Fair
coming into the fight last year. When
Fair pulled him out of the nine.hole, into
which the big wheat deal had gotten
him, Mackay's bitterness towards his old
partner vanished to the winds. He is
now as enthusiastic in the other direc.
ton. Fear Of Mackay by Fair had
something, though not all, to do with
the latter taking to the woods during
the recent Senatorial contest in this
State. For our own part, old Jimmy,
or any other Californian, has our full
permission to remain in the woods for
all time. We shall never aid in digging
up and bringing to the front any of them,
no matter of which party, while Christ
rules the universe.

White House OFFERINGS.

Our attention was called during the
week to the magnificent stock of goods,
suitable for holiday presents, offered by
M. Karsky, at the White House dry
goods store, by the good looking sales
mar of the establishment, Mike Ma
guire. We were shown an endless
variety OF ladies' Mikado and silver
bound purses; French silk hose, black
and colored French Isle thread hose
in solid and fancy colors; real Ouch
ess lace, white silk, fancy embroidered
edge, and linen handkerchiefs; also
linen handkerchiefs in Oriental de-
signs. Rllow-shams of artistic make,
Kid gloves, a splendid variety Of furs
and other articles in abundance, sui
table for gentleman to make presents
to their lady friends, during the holiday
season. We also saw, during our visit
to this establishment, as fine do
mestic and fancy dry goods as can be
seen in any mountain town on the Pa
ciic Coast. We can see no reason for
folks sending to New York or San
Francisco for dry goods as long as
everything they need can be found
here, and the White House offers
them at prices that cannot be excelled
for cheapness in any of the large cities.

Increasing Ore Production.

The Eureka Con. Mining Company
continues to send large quantities of
ore from their mines to the furnaces,
and We learn that if the ore is needed,
a train load can be sent down every
day. A great increase in the ore pro-
duction of this once famous mine has
taken place since Al Burt was ap-
pointed foreman OF it, and we trust he
will be the lucky star of the future to
the company. A return of the former
prosperous days of this great property
would infuse new life in our camp, and
bring fresh capital to develop a num-
Der of our neglected mines. We are
glad to note that OF the few mines that
are being worked on prospect Mount
ain, the increase of the ore production
OF late has been remarkable, and we
believe that we have good reason for
saying that Eureka is again on the up
grade,

TAYLOR.


Thursday was the Argus payday
which buoyed the local money market
considerably.
DIR. Campbell went over to Osceola
yesterday afternoon to attend a child
OF MIR. Tilord. who is very i'll.
w. B. Graham, who has been very
sick with the measles, is said to be
improving as we go to press.
Twenty degrees below zero is what
the thermometer at the Arugus mill
registered Wednesday morning.
j. Duff Brown, the veteran miner,
and sharp, clear-headed prospector,
who has been in Salt Lake for some
months, has returned to Osceola.
Mrs. VIM. Hendrie, of Osceola, de-
parted for California on Tuesdays
stage, where she will spend the
Winter. The lady's health needed a
change.
Mrs. Yates resumed charge Of the
White Pine restaurant and lodging
house on the 18th. This lady's repu-
tation as a hostess is well and favor
ably known by all our readers.
Frank Newton has purchased the
building lately occupied by Ed Wat
kins and K. q. Schoield, and is fit
ting it up for a residence. Coming
events cast their shadows before"
Andy Hotaling, an old Hamilton
acquaintance of ours away back in
the early 70's, dropped in on us the
other day. We did not recognize him
at first, for in those years he has
grown younger instead of older, in ap-
pearances at least. Andy is now a
resident of Snake Valley, a thriving
rancher, and has a mining interest
there that promises fine.
The measles, which took a lull of
about six weeks, have broken out
again, and it seems with greater vio-
lence. Several grown people have
been attacked in the past week-W.
B. Graham here aud Mrs. Jesse
Peaslee down at the Argus mill. John
Wheatley's children also have them,
but they are getting along nicely.
ELY.
The Courthouse is nearly finished.
1t will be occupied by the county Off
Gals by Christmas.
VIM. Hayes shipped over from
Hamilton this week a lot of lumber to
put up a bath-house at the Warm
Springs.
The County Commissioners found
it necessary to purchas a lot of stoves
to replace those that m~ysteriouslv dis
appeared al Hamilton.
Another marriage license was issued
for two loving hearts in Cherry Creek
last Saturday. Altogether nine mar
riage licenses have been issued in as
many weeks. Only 81 were issued in
two years and eight months before
the recent boom.
The Ely mill, after making a very
successful run, shut down last Sun
day. 1t is not likely they will start
up before New Years, as it is necces-
sary to make some alterations. The
company shipped another handsome
bar of bullion valued at 81 700 by to-
days stage.
A very affecting parting scene &C.
cured here last week. An ex-bar-
tender had to take leave OF his lady |
love. Those who witnessed the agony
of that parting sincerely hope that
those two loving hearts may vet be
united, and that the cup Of their bliss
may be full and Fuller until it over
flows. |
